Lufia & the Fortress of Doom: some thots.
The opening is rad with this big epic flashback scene and massive bosses. Then it turns to present day and it's like Dragon Warrior. A wimpy lil boy walks circles around his town fighting slimes to get stronger.
The controls are funny. Has the typical A-confirm, B-cancel thing, but B also brings up the menu, so the whole game can be played NES style, the d-pad + A and B.
Battles only let you target groups of like enemies and you can swing at air Final Fantasy style.
Graphics are pretty, but the characters are square and look like toddlers. Battles occur in "translucent" arenas where enemies and stat windows materialize around the present surroundings. The soundtrack is sheer ownage. The dialogue is kinda cute and uses cartoony speech bubbles.
I already beat this one, in November of 2009. Felt compelled to play it again for some reason.
